But, My wife and I are getting older so we decided that we only needed two cars. We kept her car which is a Mazda CX-5. Good for driving in winter here in Iowa. When looking for a replacement, it needed to meet the following requirements: Be able to drive it during the winter, have an auto trans so it is easier for the wife to drive, and also be fun to drive. So, I bought a 2019 KIA Stinger GT to replace the Z. It has lots of room for traveling, can haul 4 adults in comfort, and has plenty of get up and go. It also gets the same gas mileage as the Z. I did get the AWD option so that I can get around better in winter. Do plan on keeping an eye on the forum just to see whats happening.

Post up some pictures of the new ride when you get a chance!!

You are referring to the following KIA models: 2011-14 Optima, 2012-14 Sorento, and the 2011-13 Sportage. So if you own any of these cars, be careful and get them checked out.

Upgrading to an Android Auto capable headunit was the best thing i've done for my driving experience.

Same. It makes basically any other music and navigation method feel ancient.

Converted the catch cans to vent-to-atmosphere. Keeping the hoses I made for the closed loop system in case a track/state requires it.

Baby has a new set of wheels!

Shameless plug ColtronZ's Journal

Replaced alternator and power steering pump last weekend after the alternator decided to start spewing smoke and whining, then installed some dynamat in the hatch to quiet down the rattle from the exhaust....she’s all back to normal now
